The State of Healthcare Safety
With healthcare workplace violence costing hospitals $18.27B annually, the foundation of staff safety is fractured. According to Verkada’s State of Healthcare Worker Safety report, 43% of healthcare workers have experienced physical violence on the job, and 3 out of 5 worry about their safety daily. This growing epidemic is driving a massive retention crisis, forcing over 138,000 nurses to leave the field since 2022. To protect the backbone of patient care, healthcare organizations must move past traditional "record-and-review" systems and transition to a proactive, unified approach to security.
